The interwoven stories of five storied women whose lives were marked by quests for independence, deep-seeded desires and the desperate need for something far greater than they have ever known. Sarah, married to Abraham and desperate for a child, takes an impassioned and complicated step through Hagar that forever alters her family's path before experiencing an unexpected miracle late in life. Rebekah, intent on securing her favored child's destiny, intervenes in her sons' lives, setting into motion a legacy of sibling rivalry and division. And once inseparable sisters Leah and Rachel become rivals in love and motherhood, building a fractured but foundational family whose descendants will carry the weight of history. Through longing, sacrifice and perseverance, these women leave an enduring imprint on a story much bigger than their own.

Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Mar 24, 2026
For all its divine ambition, the series falls victim to the same old pitfalls that have sunk biopics of so many lesser mortals. It places too much faith in the inherent draw of its subjects, and not enough in the power of back-to-basics storytelling. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Mar 24, 2026
The Faithful: Women Of The Bible spins a compelling view of the book of Genesis that hasn’t been explored to this point, with performances that humanize the figures being featured, overcoming some clumsy writing. Go to Full Review PJ Grisar The Forward Mar 18, 2026
The proceedings are too rooted in the mythic to fully capture the human drama at the story’s core. Go to Full Review Michael John Petty Collider Mar 18, 2026
6/10
... despite the name, The Faithful is anything but, and those deviations keep the drama from being compelling or effective. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Krista R @RT49730840 Apr 10, 2026 Shouldn't be surprised with it being a show from Fox, but was thoroughly disappointed. Not only was the acting terrible...the only things that were accurate was the characters names. Basically, nothing else was Biblically accurate.Do not recommend. See more Dory Anne D @DoryAnne Apr 9, 2026 Was disappointed, had really been looking forward to this. The acting was good, but there wasn't much depth, or adherence to the true meaning of the scriptures. And the amount of ads was extremely annoying, seemed more than the show itself. The first episode with Minnie Driver wasn't bad, the second not as good, with the 3rd being the worst, very poorly written. See more Wyatt S @RT28887933 Mar 30, 2026 Another twist on Old Testament history, but with all the failure of inserting modern political views into historical context. The show takes Old Testament people, inserts modern feministic ideology onto characters that don’t fit the narrative, while taking "creative liberties" by outright changing scriptural events. An absolute must miss and a failure of large productions to actually just show the material in which they get it from. See more Jessie S @Lakelife0431 Mar 28, 2026 if youre a blind believer you'll like it no matter what, but from an objective perspective, it was awful. youre going to see some positive review bombing, but not quite on the melania scale. its filmmaking like this that show the cracks in Rotten tomatoe's rating systems See more Joanne E. @Joelle2025 Mar 24, 2026 I don’t know why others did not enjoy this. I found it to be such a special gift …. Especially during lent. The unwavering faith, and the strength of our Holy Women is incredibly uplifting. I did not find Abraham to be weak, I found him to be a faithful, strong leader - who had a heart. Minnie Driver and Natasha Karan were incredible!
